Instagram generator

From
October 15, 2019 Instagram has deprecated new client registration and permission review on Instagram API, so
new Instagram generators cannot be created within Smart Slider 3 anymore!Instagram had limited down the accessability of their APIs, and fromApril 4, 2018 you will only be able to access your own images, and only the last 20 from them!Instagram will deprecate its API in the beginning of
2020, so you will only be able to use our dynamic slide generator until this time.
This dynamic slide generator is available in the
PRO version only.

Now you will see the client you have just made. Copy the CLIENT ID and the CLIENT SECRET.

Paste them into the Smart Slider's back-end Global Settings → Instagram generator. (Make sure that you don't have any empty space characters in the end or beginning of them.)

Click on Request token, and authorize the popup window.

You will see the token appearing, and you should save on your settings.

Now the api is done, and you can create a new slider, or use an existing one.

Choose to give dynamic slides to your slider.

Pick one of the Instagram generators.

Set up your generator, choose the settings you think you want, change the number of slides to how many do you want to be in your slider, change the cache expiration to the time you want your slider to look for new data, and if you want to, you can check, what will be on your slides in the record viewer. Instagram had limited down the accessability of their APIs, and from April 4, 2018 you will only be able to access your own images, and only the last 20 from them!Instagram can have images and videos, but they do not offer a way through their API to only ask down the images, so it has to happen from our end of the code. Because of this
10 slides might not mean 10 slides, but it's rather
10 data asked down from Instagram including videos, which will be removed. If you want to have exactly 10 slides, you should rather ask down more data, like 20, so you would surely have 10 images and give 10 to the
maximum slide count option.

Now you can start working on how your slides will look with the datas of the first slide. You can put down layers, and use the VARIABLE signs to put that data inside them, what you want there to be.
